Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories in these not-so-United States of America abound.

They go hand in hand with bigotry, hatred, and terrorism.

I'd be surprised if someone doesn't come up with a conspiracy theory about Rush Limbaugh. 

Somebody deliberately infected him with the lung cancer virus! 

Or tried to force him to smoke cannabis! A Federal crime! 

And that's what caused his cancer, when they forced him to inhale an entire deep toke! Shameful! Criminal!

Here are some actual quotes that might provide motivation to a gang of cancer terrorists, lurking out there somewhere on the Dark Web:

"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

On Hurricane Irma: "You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don't need a hurricane to hit anywhere. All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and more dangerous, and you create the panic, and it's mission accomplished, agenda advanced." [Limbaugh later evacuated his Florida home because of the hurricane.]

OK, here's a conspiracy theory for you, courtesy of the man himself:

On the Central American migrant caravan heading toward the U.S. in 2018: "The objective is to dilute and eventually eliminate or erase what is known as the distinct or unique American culture ... This is why people call this an invasion."

On LGBT politicians getting elected: "I guarantee there'd be some people in the Republican establishment who will now think, 'Yeah, we need to do this. We need to provide a home, we need to provide a comforting atmosphere for the tranny community and the gay community.' But those people are voting Democrat anyway."

But here's my favorite. It's almost too ironic for words, but do read his:

On the dangers of secondhand smoking, and smoking in general: "That is a myth. That has been disproven at the World Health Organization and the report was suppressed. There is no fatality whatsoever. There's no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you...Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does. Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it's true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots ... I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I'm saying."

Well, it seems that, thanks to our Fearless Leader he indeed has received a medal. A Medal of Honor, no less. Was a certain somebody on a high throne snorting Walter White's finest crystal? 

While RL was smoking cigars.

DT (short for 'delirium tremens') must have apparently inhaled a lot of Rush over the years and savored the aroma. So be it.

Ciao for now.
